The Salt movie ending has a good resolution. Angelina Jolie is a certified female action movie star. She is one of the few actresses who can carry a movie as a main lead character. In Jolie's past action movies such as Tomb Raider, Wanted, Gone in 60 Seconds, and other movies are big hits, moviegoers are treated to an array of crafty action scenes.  The Salt movie ending provides a good resolution, exploring the movie plot in the end to answer setup questions in Act 1.  

In the Salt movie ending, the climax reaches the high point of tension with Salt deactivating the nuclear missile attack. Salt is shot in the chest, though she survives since she is wearing a bulletproof vest. 

The law enforcement team guide the restrained Evelyn Salt up the jam-packed stairs. Evelyn glances at the CIA/Russian spy Ted Winter. All of a sudden, Evelyn jumps off the stairway to choke Winter using the her handcuff line. In result, Agent Winter dies of asphyxiation.  

Peabody escorts Salt on a military helicopter. While in flight, Peabody socks the badly beaten Salt on her jaw a split second after she makes a comment about the deceased Agent Winter being unable to defend himself.

Peabody questions Evelyn's motive for ceasing the nuclear attack on two Arab nations. He indicates that he is naive to believe that Salt saved the U.S. from an inevitable nuclear war. Evelyn response that Agent Winter is a Russian spy is deemed a serious accusation.  

Peabody asks Salt how many Russian spies are there like her. She replies back that there are none like her, but far too many like Ted Winter. Peabody receives a text message to confirm that Salt's fingerprints place her at the scene of the Orlov massacre. 

Salt is no ordinary Russian operative. She is essentially an American spy disguised as a Russian spy. Peabody realizes no other person besides him will believe Salt is innocent.  

Salt and Peabody stare at one another. Peabody socks Salt again, but unlocks her handcuffs in the process. Salt shows gratitude.   

Through nonverbal communication, Peabody directs Salt's attention to the emergency hatch door. Peabody motions to Salt to go get them. Salt taps her fingers as a countdown to get ready, and then slams up against the emergency door to escape. She glides downward on the emergency door, landing in the cold frigid lake. 

The helicopter circles around to search for Salt. Meanwhile, Salt has already reached land. While she is running barefoot in the ice forrest, the media mentions the U.S. and Russians are maintaining a peacekeeping mission, and that Russian spy Evelyn Salt is confirmed dead. 

The Salt movie ending features good screenwriting. We hear good exposition to explain the movie plot. The visuals are effective to advance the plot. There is a clear resolution in the Salt movie ending to convey Evelyn's motive. Hence, Peabody understands that Salt is innocent. The Salt movie ending compliments the spy movie storyline. In essence, the moviegoer will find the Salt movie ending satisfying.
